My Project

We need your help in acquiring a class set of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes for our middle school ELA class. We are committed to providing our students with the highest quality education possible, using standard-based learning targets on newer content to help drive learning and engagement. This novel is an excellent choice for our students as it is a captivating story that explores themes of power, corruption, and survival. It is set in the same world as The Hunger Games trilogy, making it an exciting addition to our curriculum for fans of the series.

Our middle school students are at a pivotal point in their development, and we believe that reading and discussing this novel will help them to better understand the complexities of our world.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes offers an opportunity for our students to engage with literature in a way that is relevant to their lives and experiences.

We know that budgets are tight, and we are grateful for any support you can offer. Your donation will make a significant impact on our students' education and help to create lifelong readers. Please consider donating to our cause and help us to provide the best possible education for our students. Thank you for your consideration.
